idk, the demo thingy looks great. https://tomotama.com/kikidemo/

try the demo. it’s an entirely different style, which shows how versatile the tool is
It still doesn't reflect the design philosophy at all, though. A wacky approximation of early MacOS that offers nonfunctional UI affordances doesn't fit my bill of No obscurantist programming languages and styles , or simple, maintainable software akin to machines that need to work under all circumstances in the far north. I was also a little disappointed with the philosophy's goals in general, which seem to be mostl…
A "universal" approach to software design is the problem I am addressing, not the solution. Coming up with your own philosophy of design and implementation that works for you, and hopefully works for others, is how we get better software.

> 2. I don't think the website is _nearly unreadable_. For me personally, the color scheme is uncomfortable to read. Dark text on a dark background
It's the decades-old problem of blue on black, which has led to interminable discussions of which exact tint of blue should be ECMA-45 blue on a terminal. Pick one, it has poor contrast with a black background. Pick another, it has poor contrast with a white background. * https://invisible-island.net/xterm/xterm.faq.html#dont_like_...
I wish we could get back to a “mom and pop” software market. Itch.io feels like it’s doing a lot of work for indie software that used to just be everywhere and easy to stumble onto.
It took me two weeks, plus sending IDs, incorporating an ltd, to get a license to sell software with Paddle. With itch I just need a paypal/stripe account.

> I was also a little disappointed with the philosophy's goals in general, which seem to be mostly the personal preferences of a lone-wolf style open source developer, not a universal approach to software design. How would a universal approach to software design be in any way appropriate for this?

So, pick two? One for each background?

When you describe my programming and design philosophy as "the personal preferences of a lone-wolf style open source developer, not a universal approach to software design", I consider that the absolute best compliment I could have ever hoped for!

The text flows over the whole width is one point, the paddings and margins is another one. Sure, you can read this if you really want, but it's painful.
I would like to introduce a wild concept -- browser window is resizable.
